		<description>Huffffffffffffffffffff.  (Protracted sigh.)

When I see these types of videos, I always wonder how many people answered the questions correctly and got edited out of the final cut.  (This is the latent social scientist in me.  Sample size!  Margin of error!  Woo!)  For the sake of my good nights&#039; sleep, I hope the answer to that one is &quot;the population of the Twin Cities.&quot;</description>

		<description>Well, I have one relative who emailed me a petition in 2004 warning people not to vote for Kerry because his Purple Hearts were fake and he was therefore a dangerous choice to be Commander In Chief of the U. S. military.

He was urging me to vote instead for a guy who had never been in the military, who joined the Coast Guard to avoid being drafted into Vietnam, and who apparently skipped out on most of his training and duties in said Coast Guard.  And look what a great job that guy has done in leading our armed forces.

To make it weirder, said relative was a member of the military who did serve overseas.

I don&#039;t know what was weirder: his seriously flawed argument or the fact that he sent ME the email.  He does know me.</description>

		<description>She meant the more brownish-type of non-citizens. Jeez, dbay, don&#039;t be so touchy.

This is hilarious; again, as Pulao pointed out, sister-in-law the most hilarious. As for the video, I take offense that someone misidentified &quot;Mississippi&quot; as a member of the axis of evil. Come on! If there&#039;s one thing you can NOT accuse Mississippi of it&#039;s, you know, being its own hostile nation instead of a part of this one.</description>

		<description>Hahahahahaha!

I think what your sister-in-law did is funnier than anything in the video. (Though it&#039;s fun to see people asserting that a triangle has four, or no, sides.)</description>
